Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 2098: Why should we go to meet him
"...But can you really believe the guarantee Jiajiada has given you now?"
The bite just now was a bit too greedy; now Lin Sanjiu's tongue had to go around a mouthful of food with great difficulty to form a sentence, and he had to be careful not to spit out the residue.
The last time she really ate was in a dirty office, which was a few days ago. There were constant crises and dangers along the way, so naturally she had no time to eat, until Lin Sanjiu was in the restaurant at this moment. When she sat down and saw plates of food being served on the table, she suddenly woke up to a pack of hungry wolves biting her internal organs. Every bite seemed to break the spoon.
Pina had already had enough to drink and had a cup of hot tea in her hand. As she watched Lin Sanjiu devouring it, the look on her face could almost be said to be close to awe.
"Eat slowly, if it's not enough I can order some more for you..." She asked carefully, "Don't you trust Jiajiada?"
The person who answered the call was Qing Jiuru.
"Although I don't belong to the same department as him, I am very clear about their operating style." He lowered his voice and said, "Unlike ordinary dungeons that are self-contained and like independent creatures, this dungeon is too large in scale. It's so big that people can live in it for a lifetime. It's difficult to maintain this kind of copy solely by relying on its own innate energy and resources... The most efficient and useful building element is people. ”
Pina swallowed her tea hard, her full attention focused on it.
When a good actor tells a story, he has a kind of unconscious attraction; even if Qingjiuru is not speaking lines now, he is playing an ordinary and mediocre copy worker.
“The Evolver is like a battery that can be automatically recharged and automatically upgraded... For example, if you use the chips generated by the dungeon to exchange for an item you have always dreamed of, it looks like you have earned it. The dungeon paid for a genuine item. thing, but you only got back your own chips, right?"
Youqing Jiuli took the initiative to take over the burden of persuasion. While Lin Sanjiu was relieved and ate, he did not forget to observe him secretly.
It’s like Qingjiu Liu has an adjustment button that can adjust the “dazzling degree”; sometimes his whole person is as unmistakable as the long night stars and the cold moon and dark sea, and sometimes he can look like an ordinary accountant wearing round glasses. ——For example, now. The difference seemed to be that he pressed down his hair with water, hunched his back slightly, stretched his neck forward, and pulled a muscle unnaturally... This was a change that she could see, and maybe it was something she could see. There are more things that cannot be seen, which together cause the difference in his impression.
"Isn't that so?" Pina looked at him and asked, then suddenly said: "Hey, your eyes are very beautiful, have you ever thought about changing your look..."
After all, it's just a change caused by his acting skills. His facial features are still unique. Without makeup, it's impossible to completely transform into the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Lin Sanjiu thought as she sank her teeth deeply into the salmon egg muffin.
“But in the process of trying to get the chips, you are like a hamster running on wheels to generate electricity. Your actions, your abilities, and your energy are all turned into an endless stream of energy. Electric energy is delivered to the copy. When a person becomes an employee, everything he does as an employee, even if he sneezes, is equivalent to generating electricity."
Qingjiuru didn't seem to realize that the two people at the same table were considering his styling problem, and still explained: "On this basis, you also need to put in all kinds of practical work for the copy, and make countless improvements and improvements. Repair...and the copy just uses the 'power' you produced, replaces a small part, and then provides it to you."
Whether he can convince Pina to change her mind can be said to be the most important priority before the arrival of the puppet master and his team.
Pina has met Lin Sanjiu with her own eyes. If Lin Sanjiu wants to avoid being exposed and not discovered by Jiajiatian, she must either recruit Pina into the escape group, or she must make Pina agree to keep it secret— - This is one of the reasons why she came to the restaurant to delay time - but can Lin Sanjiu trust the evolver Pina, can she trust the dungeon employee Pina?
"If this is just the case, then during the contract period, it can be said that both parties get what they need."
The character played by Qingjiuru at this time is actually a teetotaler. Just now he waved his hands solemnly and declined the red wine provided by the waiter, making him seem more reliable.
"However, in the first three years, it was just a hook, used to hook you. The power of the copy is corrosive. I personally experienced the softening and dissolution of my willpower little by little, and the gradual increase in dependence on the power of the copy. I also lost my imagination of the outside world little by little... When I suddenly realized one day that the outside world had not appeared in my mind for a week, the sky, sea and people outside were beyond my imagination. At that time, I realized that if I stayed any longer, I would be in even greater danger."
Qingjiuru lowered his head and pushed up his glasses. It is not easy for him to continue to play "accountant" when he is really emotional.
"Imagination is not the ability to fantasize. Before we do something, whether you are aware of it or not, there will actually be a process of anticipation... This is a key ability for humans to survive and walk in the world. When you lose the right The imagination of an environment and a thing..."
Qingjiuru frowned and made an analogy: "For example, let's say you want to change clothes. If you can't predict how you can put a T-shirt on your body, then you can It is equivalent to losing the ability to put on a T-shirt. Now, it is very difficult for me to imagine how to really leave the dungeon and how to survive in the outside world. I need to force myself to think about it over and over again. It's like a person recovering from an injury and learning to walk again. I think this is how the copy gradually makes employees lose the ability to leave it."
This was the first message Lin Sanjiu heard - she couldn't help but put down the tableware and glanced at Qing Jiuliu blankly.
Pina also shuddered obviously, but she didn’t know exactly how many benefits Jiajiada had promised her. She still hesitated: "Then...if I stay alert, in the first three years, If you leave immediately when it’s over..."
There are many people who think they can pull chestnuts out of the fire - otherwise there wouldn't be Ponzi schemes even in the Twelve Doomsday Realms.
The two looked at each other, both feeling a little anxious.
Qing Jiuliu's warnings and reminders are actually far away and hard to imagine - humans are not far-sighted animals to begin with - and everything Jiajiatian promised, whether it is a comfortable living environment, indispensable supplies, Exhausted items, safety and stability without taking risks... But everything is within reach, no wonder Pina can't resist the temptation.
Just when Lin Sanjiu was thinking about what to say, a figure suddenly stumbled into the restaurant from outside the door; all of us here were evolutionaries with keen senses, even if the movement of that person was not too big, It still made everyone turn their heads.
"I, I have something to announce,"
It was a man with a long and slender body, with a face that was both red and white. He didn’t know what was going on, and even his breathing was a little uneven. A waiter made a hissing gesture at him, and he looked at the restaurant again, as if he had just remembered the rules about no noise in the casino; he almost didn't waste any time, and rushed to the door closest to the door. In front of a table, he whispered a few words to the evolved person on the table. Without waiting for a response, he turned around and rushed to the next table.
"What's going on?" Pina asked hesitantly.
Lin Sanjiu had turned around and watched the evolver hurrying from one dining table to the next, muttering the same message repeatedly, bringing the message closer and closer; She didn't even need to wait for the man to approach before she knew what the news was - at the table in front of her, the evolved person who heard the message clearly stood up and said a sentence with a pale face: " The puppeteer is outside!"
The sound of chairs being hurriedly pulled open, the noise of cups and plates being knocked onto the table, the sound of people gasping for breath... all at the same time disrupted the previously cheerful and quiet conversation and laughter in the restaurant. In the little startled chaos, Lin Sanjiu, who suddenly stood up straight, was not eye-catching.
Some people were more sensible and hurriedly comforted the people around them: "Don't worry, everyone, this is the casino hall, no force is allowed, don't be afraid..."
"Why is he here?" There are also evolvers who are not afraid of the word "puppet master" and still ask the person who brought the message calmly: "When you saw him, the first time you thought of running away Come to inform everyone?"
"No, no," the slender man said with a grimace: "I was accidentally caught by him... Although I can't use force~IndoMTL.com~, I feel like he didn't No matter how we did it, I and several other people couldn't move together... Then, the puppet master, um, your lord, ordered me and a few other people to spread the news of his arrival to everyone in the casino hall. Here. He said that even if one person doesn’t know, he will make me regret having a mouth. Isn’t there anyone in the restaurant who doesn’t know now?"
"Why would he——"
Before the man finished asking, a figure rushed out from a table in the restaurant; even though she was sternly reminded by the waiter, she didn't slow down much, and turned around halfway, With a smile on her face, she urged her companion: "Hurry, come quickly, let's go out to find him!"
Pina stood stunned beside the table, staring at the beaming Lin Sanjiu in the distance, as if the latter suddenly grew eight tentacles in front of her eyes.
"Wait,"
Seeing Qingjiu Liu also walking over, she quickly stood up, but for a moment she was unwilling to accept the turn of fate, and stammered: "Why should we go to find someone? Puppet master?"
